(D) Notices to the Insureds All notices to the Insureds shall be sent to the Named Entity at the address set forth in Item 1 of the Declarations. V.

Upon written request by any Insured, the Insurer shall advance Defense Costs in excess of the applicable Retention amount, in defense of any Claim covered by this Policy. However if such Defense Costs are only partially covered by this Policy because: (i) such Claim involves both Insureds and persons or entities who are not Insureds, or (ii) such Claim is subject to one or more ALLOCABLE EXCLUSIONS, as set forth in Section IV. of each Coverage Part; or (iii) a portion of such Claim is subject to one or more exceptions to the exclusions listed in EXCLUSIONS WITH EXCEPTIONS, as set forth in Section IV. (C) of each Coverage Part (or Section V. EXCLUSION APPLICABLE TO INSURING AGREEMENT (C) of the Private Equity Fund Management and Professional Liability Coverage Part); or (iv) a portion of such Claim is for amounts that do not constitute Damages, unless otherwise specified, then the Insureds and the Insurer agree to use their best efforts to fairly and reasonably allocate such Defense Costs on the basis of the relative legal and financial exposures of the covered and non-covered PQ 00 H , The Hartford Page 6 of 15

7 parties and/or the covered and non-covered portions of such Claim and/or such Defense Costs. If the Insurer and the Insured(s) agree on the amount of Defense Costs that constitute covered Defense Costs, the Insurer shall advance such Defense Costs on a current basis. If the Insurer and the Insured(s) cannot agree on the amount of Defense Costs that constitute covered Defense Costs, then: (1) the Insurer shall advance on a current basis Defense Costs that it believes to be covered until a different allocation is negotiated or determined by arbitration; and (2) the Insurer and the Insured(s) agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration. The rules of the American Arbitration Association shall apply except with respect to the selection of the arbitration panel, which shall consist of one arbitrator selected by the Insured(s), one arbitrator selected by the Insurer and a third independent arbitrator selected by the first two arbitrators. Any negotiated, arbitrated or judicially determined allocation of Defense Costs on account of a Claim shall be applied retroactively to all Defense Costs on account of such Claim, notwithstanding any prior advancement to the contrary. Any allocation or advancement of Defense Costs on account of a Claim shall not apply to or create any presumption with respect to the allocation of Damages on account of such Claim. VI. ALLOCATION OF DAMAGES If a Claim results in a settlement or judgment that includes both Damages and amounts that do not constitute Damages, then the Insureds and the Insurer agree to use their best efforts to fairly and reasonably allocate the amount of such settlement or judgment on the basis of the relative legal and financial exposures to the covered damages and the non-covered amounts. If Damages with respect to a Claim are only partially covered by this Policy because: (i) such Claim involves both Insureds and persons or entities who are not Insureds, or (ii) such Claim is subject to one or more ALLOCABLE EXCLUSIONS, as set forth in Section IV. of each Coverage Part ; or (iii) a portion of such Claim is subject to one or more exceptions to the exclusions listed in the EXCLUSIONS WITH SPECIFIED EXCEPTIONS, as set forth in Section IV. (C) of each Coverage Part (or Section V. EXCLUSION APPLICABLE TO INSURING AGREEMENT (C) of the Private Equity Fund Management and Professional Liability Coverage Part); or; (iv) the settlement or judgment includes Damages excluded in EXCLUSIONS APPLICABLE TO DAMAGES BUT NOT TO DEFENSE COSTS, as set forth in Section IV. (D) of each Coverage Part, then the Insureds and the Insurer agree to use their best efforts to fairly and reasonably allocate such Damages on the basis of the relative legal and financial exposures of the covered and non-covered parties and/or the covered and non-covered portions of such Claim and/or such Damages. If the Insurer and the Insured(s) can agree on the amount that constitutes covered Damages, the Insurer shall pay such amount as soon as practicable. If the Insurer and the Insured(s) cannot agree on the amount of covered Damages, then the Insurer and the Insured(s) agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration. The rules of the American Arbitration Association shall apply except with respect to the selection of the arbitration panel, which shall consist of one arbitrator selected by the Insured(s), one arbitrator selected by the Insurer and a third independent arbitrator selected by the first two arbitrators.

8 VII. LIMIT OF LIABILITY The Aggregate Limit of Liability for each Coverage Part in ITEM 5 of the Declarations shall be the maximum aggregate amount that the Insurer shall pay under such Coverage Part for all Loss from all Claims covered under such Coverage Part. If any Limit of Liability is exhausted, the premium for this Policy shall be fully earned. Notwithstanding the above, the Combined Aggregate Limit of Liability For All Coverage Parts stated in ITEM 5 of the Declarations: (1) shall be the maximum aggregate amount that the Insurer shall pay for all Loss from all Claims covered under this Policy; and (2) any amount specified as an Aggregate Limit of Liability for any individual Coverage Part in ITEM 5 of the Declarations shall be subject to, part of, and not in addition to, the amount stated as the Combined Aggregate Limit of Liability for All Coverage Parts. (C) Defense Costs shall be part of, and not in addition to, each applicable Limit of Liability. Payment of Defense Costs by the Insurer shall reduce each Limit of Liability. VIII. SELF-INSURED RETENTION AND PRESUMPTION OF INDEMNIFICATION (C) (D) (E) The Insurer shall only pay Loss in excess of the Retention applicable to each Claim as specified in Item 5 of the Declarations. Defense Costs are applied against the Retention. The Retention shall be borne by the Insureds uninsured at the Insureds own risk. If Loss arising from any Claim is covered in whole or in part under more than one Coverage Part or Insuring Agreement, the applicable Retention shall be applied separately to that part of Loss covered by each Coverage Part or Insuring Agreement and the sum of the Retentions so applied shall constitute the Retention applicable to such Claim; provided, however, the largest applicable Retention amount set forth in Item 5 of the Declarations shall be the maximum retention applicable to such Claim. No Retention shall apply to Loss incurred by any Insured Person that an Insured Entity is not permitted by common or statutory law to indemnify, or is permitted or required to indemnify, but is not able to do so by reason of Financial Insolvency. For the purpose of determining if an Insured Entity is permitted or required to indemnify an Insured Person, the organizational and corporate governance documents of any Insured Entity, including, but not limited to, any certificate of incorporation, articles of organization, or bylaws, as well as any agreements relating to indemnification of Insured Persons, shall be presumed to permit indemnification and advancement of Defense Costs to the maximum extent permissible under any applicable law, regardless of the actual provisions of such documents. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Policy to the contrary, if any Insured Entity is permitted or required by common or statutory law to indemnify an Insured Person for any Loss, or to advance Defense Costs on his or her behalf, and fails to do so other than because of Financial Insolvency, then the Insurer's liability shall be subject to the Retention that would have applied if such indemnification had been made. If an Insured Entity is unable to indemnify an Insured Person for any Loss, or to advance Defense Costs on his or her behalf because of Financial Insolvency, then, subject to Section VIII (D) of these Common Terms and Conditions, the Named Entity shall indemnify such Insured Person and advance Defense Costs on their behalf.

CONSENT AND COOPERATION (C) The Insureds shall, as a condition precedent to their rights under this Policy, give to the Insurer all information and cooperation as the Insurer may reasonably require and shall do nothing that may prejudice the Insurer's position or its potential or actual rights of recovery, whether by subrogation or otherwise. The Insureds shall not admit or assume any liability, make any settlement offer, enter into any settlement agreement, stipulate to any judgment, or incur any Defense Costs regarding any Claim without the prior written consent of the Insurer, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. The Insurer shall not be liable for any admission, assumption, settlement, stipulation, or Defense Costs to which it has not consented. The Insurer shall have the right to effectively associate in the defense of any Claim, even if such Claim is groundless, false or fraudulent. The Insurer may make any investigation it deems appropriate. X. COVERAGE EXTENSIONS Spousal/Domestic Partner Liability Coverage Coverage shall apply to the lawful spouse or Domestic Partner of an Insured Person for a Claim made against such spouse or Domestic Partner, provided that: (1) such Claim arises solely out of: (a) (b) such person s status as the spouse or Domestic Partner of an Insured Person; or such spouse s or Domestic Partner s alleged ownership of property sought as recovery for a Wrongful Act by an Insured Person; (2) the Insured Person is named in such Claim together with the spouse or Domestic Partner; and (3) coverage of the spouse or Domestic Partner shall be on the same terms and conditions, including, but not limited to, any applicable Retention, as apply to coverage of the Insured Person for such Claim. No coverage shall apply to any Loss directly resulting from any act, error or omission of such spouse or Domestic Partner. Estates and Legal Representatives Including Family Trusts In the event of the death, incapacity or bankruptcy of an Insured Person, any Claim made against the estate, Family Trusts, heirs, legal representatives or assigns of such Insured Person for a Wrongful Act of such Insured Person shall be deemed to be a Claim made against such Insured Person. No coverage shall apply to any Loss directly resulting from any act, error or omission of such estate, Family Trust, heirs, legal representatives or assigns. XI.

No coverage shall be available for any Wrongful Act of any Insured occurring before such transaction or for any Interrelated Wrongful Acts thereto. However, if the transaction(s) occurs during the Policy Period and the fair value of either: (i) (ii) all cash, securities, assumed liabilities and other consideration paid by the Insured Entity for any such transaction, or all assets acquired or liabilities assumed by the Insured Entity in any single transaction or series of related transactions, exceeds 25% of the total consolidated assets or liabilities, respectively, of all entities qualifying as Insured Entities under this Policy, as reflected in the Named Entity's last audited consolidated financial statements prior to such transaction, then the Named Entity, as a condition precedent to coverage with respect to such new Insureds, or to coverage for Claims alleging Wrongful Acts relating to such assets or assumed liabilities and occurring subsequent to such transaction, shall give written notice of such transaction to the Insurer as soon as practicable but in no event more than sixty (60) days after the effective date of such transaction, together with such information as the Insurer may require, and shall pay any additional premium so required by the Insurer.
